Description

How Does Zolmitriptan Work? Migraines cause nausea, light sensitivity, and intense throbbing pain in the head.  Some patients get a pre-migraine warning, which is known as an aura.  The aura involves a blurred or distorted vision. Although a migraine's cause is unclear, the throbbing pain is associated with dilation of blood vessels in the brain.  Zolmitriptan belongs to a group of medicines called serotonin agonists. The remedy works by stimulating the brain's serotonin receptors. The effect is that the affected blood vessels narrow, relieving the associated pain. Zolmitriptan, like other triptans, works best when taken at the onset of an attack.
